This is a stern reminder that the ban on Development Levy in Bayelsa State remains fully in force.
Government considers the unlawful demand or collection of such levies as outright extortion, which discourages investment and undermines development. With immediate effect, any individual, group, or organisation found imposing or collecting Development Levy will be treated as engaging in illegal activity and will face the full weight of the law.
For the avoidance of doubt, companies and investors will continue to carry out Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects strictly under the regulations of relevant government agencies.
The Government will not tolerate any violation of this directive. Communities, youth bodies, and their leaders are hereby warned to comply without delay. Defaulters will be sanctioned without exception.
Be guided.
